2bdeba9d87 Add a mechanism to include files added by ports which contain
the names of directories to include in the base ldconfig script.
This will eliminate the need for each port to install its own
boot script which does nothing but ldocnfig a given directory.

This code was developed by flz (ports committer), discussed on
freebsd-rc@, and modified slightly by me.

5a09b5d83f Brooks pointed out a potential problem with disabling the X cleaning
by default, so add a new knob that is on by default, and check that
knob in start_precmd so that it can run even if cleaning /tmp is
not enabled. This has the advantage of not violating POLA, while
still allowing the user to disable this behavior if they wish (for
example on a server that will never run X).

c9292fd995 Clear up problems with /etc/rc.d/{abi|cleanvar|cleartmp} brought
to light by the PR.  Specifically, convert these three scripts
into good rc.d citizens, making sure that their functionality
is preserved, but the rc.d framework rules are not broken.

Add support for cleanvar as a regular rc.d script in the
default rc.conf, and document this in the man page.

Add a descriptive comment to rc.conf that regarding the
three emulation/compatibility services provided by abi
so users will not be confused by these services not having
their own startup scripts.

156819c498 Remove rcconf.sh from /etc/rc.d, and instead load the configuration
as part of rc. Doing this, and the sourcing of rc.subr after we have
determined if we are booting diskless (and correspondingly run
rc.initdiskless if necessary) are safe, and actually allow fewer files
to be needed on the diskless box. This also allows variables from
the configuration to be available to rc itself, such as ...

Add a variable to rc.conf, early_late_divider, which designates the
script which separates the early and late stages of the boot process.
Default this to mountcritlocal, and add text to etc/defaults/rc.conf,
rc.conf(5) and diskless(8) which describes how and why one might want
to change this.

327895a26d Add an rc.d script to start pfsync at the right moment of the
system boot, and hook it up in the system.

The separate script is needed because in the presence of various
interface lists in rc.conf ($network_interfaces, $cloned_interfaces,
$sppp_interfaces, $gif_interfaces, more to come) it is hard to start
them orderly, so that pfsync is brought up after its syncdev, which
is required for the proper startup of pfsync.

56379f0e5b Fix system shutdown timeout handling by again supporting longer running
shutdown procedures (which have a duration of more than 120 seconds).

We have two user-space affecting shutdown timeouts: a "soft" one in
/etc/rc.shutdown and a "hard" one in init(8). The first one can be
configured via /etc/rc.conf variable "rcshutdown_timeout" and defaults
to 30 seconds. The second one was originally (in 1998) intended to be
configured via sysctl(8) variable "kern.shutdown_timeout" and defaults
to 120 seconds.

Unfortunately, the "kern.shutdown_timeout" was declared "unused" in 1999
(as it obviously is actually not used within the kernel itself) and
hence was intentionally but misleadingly removed in revision 1.107 from
init_main.c. Kernel sysctl(8) variables are certainly a wrong way to
control user-space processes in general, but in this particular case the
sysctl(8) variable should have remained as it supports init(8), which
isn't passed command line flags (which in turn could have been set via
/etc/rc.conf), etc.

As there is already a similar "kern.init_path" sysctl(8) variable which
directly affects init(8), resurrect the init(8) shutdown timeout under
sysctl(8) variable "kern.init_shutdown_timeout". But this time document
it as being intentionally unused within the kernel and used by init(8).
Also document it in the manpages init(8) and rc.conf(5).

4c165daa8d Teach portsnap how to ignore unwanted parts of the ports tree. A line
of the form "REFUSE foo" in portsnap.conf will result in parts of the
tree matching "^foo" being (a) not extracted by "portsnap extract", (b)
not updated by "portsnap update", and (c) not having any patches or new
ports downloaded by "portsnap fetch" or "portsnap cron". The example
shown in portsnap.conf demonstrates ignoring all the language categories.

As mentioned in portsnap.conf.5, the use of an imcomplete ports tree is
not officially supported; but this is something which many users have
requested, so I'm adding it anyway.

7d8af51fdc Add portsnap to the base system. This is a secure, easy to use,
fast, lightweight, and generally good way for users to keep their
ports trees up to date.

This is version 0.9.4 from the ports tree (sysutils/portsnap) with
the following changes:
1. The experimental pipelined http code is enabled.  No seatbelts
in -CURRENT. (^_^)
2. The working directory has moved from /usr/local/portsnap to
/var/db/portsnap (as discussed on -arch two days ago).
3. Portsnap now fetches a list of mirrors (distributed as DNS SRV
records) and selects one randomly.  This should help to avoid the
uneven loading which plagues the cvsup mirror network.
4. The license is now 2-clause BSD instead of 3-clause BSD.
5. Various incidental changes to make portsnap fit into the base
system's build mechanics.
